Do You Have A “Sleep Number” Business?
When I stay at a Radisson Hotel, I enjoy the Sleep Number bed – one can adjust the comfort level on each side of the bed independently – firmer or softer. When I get into my car, I can adjust the seat so that it fits my body – forward, back, up, down, lumber support, etc. We live in an adjustable, customized world. We choose what we want on the remote control, off a menu, on the Internet, everywhere. You set the heat in your home to your level of comfort. How about your business? Is it very comfortable? Does it adjust to your lifestyle and values and schedule, or are you a bloodied slave to your business, serving your demanding master, a love-hate relationship bordering on Stockholm Syndrome?
Has your business turned from your passion into your persecutor? You wish you could sell it but you can’t? It’s turned from adoration to addiction? It becomes ever more greedy and consuming, but you get less and less profit out of it? You’re riding a tiger? Perhaps it’s a fantasy that is now flat lining, but you can’t afford to get out because you’ll lose even more? The dream became a nightmare? Or you enjoy your business and you make money, but you have no time for your family and your hobbies? Are you controlled and manipulated like a puppet by external forces, the competition, weather, government, environment, market, suppliers, customers? I understand, because I have worked with thousands of owners of small and medium sized businesses since 1987.
My business is adjustable to what I want. I do what I like, when I like, with whom I like, how I like, I call the shots, and my business is like a well trained dog. That’s because I’m a Joint Venture Broker. I use leverage and duplication, and so I can walk away from anyone at any time. That’s what I call freedom. Ayn Rand said, “Freedom is to want nothing, to expect nothing, to depend on nothing.” I am not attached to any one of my JV partners or any of my JV’s to the extent that they control me, my time, or my choices. I am in charge and in control of my business, my money, and my time. That’s how it is SUPPOSED to be, as Michael Gerber said, “Working ON your business, not IN your business.”
Business owners can adjust and adapt their business through the use of Joint Ventures. People who don’t want to own a conventional business can simply become JV Brokers. You have the choice to control or to be controlled. Real time and money freedom is available through the use of Joint Ventures. You can be comfortable and content and make a lot more money with a lot less time and risk. You can spend as much or as little time you wish, and you can live according to your own values and priorities. You’ll have less sleepless nights.
